Application filed November 3, 1914, Serial No. 870,032. Renewed December l0, sm. Serial No. 66,228;

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BEXJAMIN W'En'r- Hlillttllifa citizen of the Umted States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the conntvand State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hats, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide certain new and useful improvements in lad es hats whereby a proper fitting of the hat is insured and the hair o fthe wearer is utilized to hold the hat in place on the wearers head.

In order to accomplish the desired result use is made of. a head band or 'bandean extending within the crown and having one Side bent h ardly toward the adjacent portion of the crown and at an angle thereto.

A practical embod ment of the invention is represented in the accoinpanving drawin; forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is an inverted plan view of the im roved hat; Fig. 2 is a reduced sectional side elevation of the same, on the line 22 of Fig.1: Fig. 3 is a reduced cross section of the same on the line 33 of Fig. 1; and Fig. is a reduced perspective view of the brim and the head band or bandeau.

The head band or bandeau A of the hat forms an integral part of the. inner edge of the brim l; on which is held the crown C in the. usual manner. .(lne side A of the lll'fld band A is bent o'utward toward the adjacent side of the crown C so as to stand at an angle to the crown, as plainly indicated 'to the left n Fig. 2. The opposite side. A

'mcnt of the hat tends to compress the hair] wh'ch' latter thus offers sullicient resistance against'such upward movement of the hat- The opposite portion A of the head band or bandeau A in a like manner tends to retard npwardmovement on this side of the hat and at the sarntime this portion is yieldmg so as to r 'dilgv fit the wearers head.

By reference td' Figs. 1 and 2 it willbe'55 noticed that the,lower edge of the side por-- tion of the crown C opposite the side portlon A of the. head band A is spaced from the base thereof, that is, is eccentric thereto to allow the portion A to slope outwardly 0 for the purpose mentioned. I It is understood that the head band or bandeau A is fashioned as described over a, suitable block so as to render the shape per manent. e

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters' Patent: v I i 1. A hat provided with an annular headband extending within the crown of the ha t.70 and having one portion bent outwardly and toward the adjacent portion of thvcrown and at an angle thereto. I V 2. A hat providedwith an annular'head band extending within the crown of the hat and having one portion bent outwardly toward the adjacentportion of the crownand at an angle thereto. and having an 'opposite portion of the head band bent inward away from the adjacent crown portion and at an angle thereto g i i 3. A hat. comprising a crown and a briin having a headband extending within the crown. one side of the head band being bent ontwardlv at an angle to the corresponding side of the crown. A hat. comprising a crown and a. brim having a hcad band extending ith n the crown. one side of the head band being bent ontwaidlv atan angle to the corresponding 9% side of the crown. the other side of the said head band being bentinwardly.-and;stand-' int at an angle to the adjacentsideof the crown. i 'In testimony whereof I have signed my'w name to this specification in-the presence of two'subscribingwitnesses.
